One More Storm ©

You spend your whole life working for peace and relaxation
When you finally get there it's murder by stagnation
I've been too long a prisoner of this stifling comfort zone
It's time to break this chain again and run for the unknown

I've been too long in cotton wool, it's time to walk the wire
I've been too long within these walls lazin' by the fire
I've been too long in sunshine where safety's been the norm
It's time to hit the waves again and look for one more storm

Chorus:
So let the wind begin to howl and the waves begin to rise
Let the blinding spray combine with torrents from the skies
For into peril once again this craft of mine must dare
Just one more storm might save me from this suffocating care

I've been travelling forever straight down the same old road
Gutlessly content to shoulder boredom's load
I don't need to be reminded I've been drifting for too long
These rules and crutches poison everything that makes us strong

There's one more storm awaiting beyond the bending trees
The wasting of this flesh might bring me to my knees
There's a chance and there's a choice that will show me what I am
It's time to quit this pool where I've been too long becalmed

Chorus:
So let the wind begin to howl and the waves begin to rise
Let the freezing spray combine with torrents from the skies
For into peril once again this craft of mine must dare
Just one more storm might save me from this suffocating care
